As a result, Post reduced the MY 2020/21 domestic feed barley consumption level by 400,000 metric tons (MT) to 6.8 million metric tons (MMT). Post’s reduction is based on discussions with leading feed processors and analysis of SAGO’s data. Meanwhile, Post estimates MY 2020/21 Saudi wheat consumption to remain at 3.5 MMT based on data provided by Saudi Arabia as well as fewer tourists in the country due to COVID-19. As for corn, the United States was the third largest exporter to Saudi Arabia and exports increased by 40,000 MT. This trend should continue for the rest of the year. SAGO also estimated that Saudi Arabia consumed 1.2 MMT of rice in 2020, and U.S. rice exports were 116,005 MT, an increase of approximately 14 percent from the previous year.

  • Market Update 2017
    JUN Market Update 2017 Qatar’s Diplomatic Gulf Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt severed ties with Qatar on 5 June, which included the expulsion of Qatari citizens from all these countries but Egypt. The Saudi-led coalition has cited Qatar’s financial and political support for radical Islamic terrorism as a reason for ostracising the country. The coalition has also called for an end to construc- tive relations with Iran, with which Qatar is jointly developing the world’s largest gas field. Tensions have escalated following an attack on 7 June on Iran’s parliament, with the Islamic State claiming responsibility. Qatar’s small landmass belies its strategic role (Exhibit 1). It is home to the most important US military base in the Middle East, is a major regional air hub, and is the world’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). We believe a diplomatic solu- tion to the current suspension in international relations is possible, as Qatar has come to the negotiating table in the past, most recently in 2014 when diplomatic relations were severed with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. In this update, our analysts in Dubai evaluate the economic and trade aspects of this regional strife that they believe will be focal points for decision makers over the coming months. Exhibit 1 Qatar Is Strategically Located Jordan Iraq Pakistan Kuwait Iran Persian Gulf Bahrain Straut of Qatar Hormuz Gulf of Oman Egypt United Arab Red Saudi Arabia Emirates Sea Oman Arabian Sea Sudan Yemen Source: Lazard Immediate Concerns The Arabian Peninsula is home to the world’s largest contiguous sand desert, the Empty Quarter, and is largely unsuitable for growing crops.

  • Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC a Wake-Up Call for Business Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC: a Wake-Up Call for Business
    Research Paper Glada Lahn Energy, Environment and Resources Department | June 2016 Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC A Wake-up Call for Business Fuel, Food and Utilities Price Reforms in the GCC: A Wake-up Call for Business Summary • A period of lower global oil prices is enabling oil-exporting Gulf countries to reform heavily suppressed energy, water and food prices at home. While fuel prices in those countries remain well below international market levels, rises of between 60 per cent and 133 per cent have, in some cases, taken place overnight. • Continued reforms will have wide-ranging implications for business and the political economy – particularly in the largest of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Saudi Arabia, which is accustomed to some of the lowest fuel and utility bills in the world. • Changes to domestic gas and diesel prices will affect, above all, industry; of particular significance is the separation of the price of ethane from that of sales gas in Saudi Arabia and the prospect of gas contract revision in the United Arab Emirates. • Higher fuel prices should drive increased efficiency in the power and water sectors. However, patterns of allocation and financial transfers within government, in some countries, mean that step changes will be incentivized only through the further unbundling of utilities. • It is worth taking a ‘nexus’ view of price reforms. Transport fuel and water price revisions in Saudi Arabia will affect the logistics sector and agribusiness and these changes will begin to trickle down into retail products, raising the prospect of further inflation and measures to limit it.
